using dummynet to limit bandwidth

Alex_sh · #1 (**permalink**) 07-06-2006

Hello
I need to limit the bandwidth from a list of ip addresses. I was planning to use the dummynet with lookup tables, so i took the example given in the manual pages:

Code:

ipfw pipe 1 config bw 1000Kbyte/s            
ipfw pipe 4 config bw 4000Kbyte/s           
 ...           
ipfw table 1 add 192.168.2.0/24 1            
ipfw table 1 add 192.168.0.0/27 4            
ipfw table 1 add 192.168.0.2 1            
...            
ipfw pipe tablearg ip from table(1) to any

I modified the network addresses as needed but there seems to be a problem with the last line:

Code:

ipfw pipe tablearg ip from table(1) to any 
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I tried to do it another way, but it didn't work too:

Code:

 ipfw pipe tablearg ip from table 1 to any 
ipfw: bad command `tablearg'

I'm using FreeBSD 6.1
Could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong or where to find some info

Thanks

To limit the bandwidth use traffic control (tc) tool from iproute2 package
